Ann Coulter made the rounds on Talk TV Tuesday, and was asked to give her own unique spin on the Anthony Weiner sex scandal and Sarah Palin's chances of running for Obama's job. For once, she was actually quite reserved. But maybe it was more what she didn't say...
Coulter stopped in at Good Morning America, Nightline and Piers Morgan all in one day. Is she running for office?
It's really more that her opinion is sought-after occasionally, the spicier the subject, because she can usually be counted on to say something outrageous.
This time she put on her Party face and weighed in on the Weinergate scandal, saying in essence that Democrats are more willing to deify their candidates.
"Conservatives respond to their sex scandals differently because we don't elevate our leaders," she told George Stephanopoulous. "We're worried about being consistent. We aren't comfortable with contradictory thinking."
Too bad. It might have made for a more interesting moment if she'd said what she was probably really thinking.
Moving on to Sarah Palin she hit a little closer to the mark, postulating that Palin would be crazy to run for president, since she's got a better, higher-paying job--just being Sarah Palin. "Why would you wreck your life running for president?" she wondered. "It's like saying, 'You're the CEO of a company; why don't you become a dog walker?'"
Now that's a little closer to vintage Coulter, an encouraging sign. Because this kinder, gentler version of "Annthrax Annie" may be making fewer appearances on the Talk TV road show if she doesn't dust off her old act.
